FX 6300 (stock speed) + Hyper 212 EVO temperatures

[leftisthominid]

I just installed a Hyper 212 EVO on my FX 6300 at stock speed. I just ran Prime95 for a hour; all tests passed and HWMonitor says the CPU temperature hovered around 28-31C.

Assassin's Creed Unity takes the CPU to around 41, 42C (with the original cooler it went to 59-60C)

I just want to make sure these temps are normal.

Those temps are great. My 6300 + evo idles at 35-38 and games at 40-45

Mines a little dusty and sitting next to a receiver that gives off some pretty good heat.

Seems odd that prime 95 temps are lower than the ones that you get while gaming, try using amd overdrive to check your temps:

My thermal margin on AMD Overdrive is ranging from 45-58-ish at idle. HWMonitor doesn't often give proper measurements at idle (currently it is ranging from 12-24)

UPDATE:
Something really weird just happened. I put AMD Overdrive and HWMonitor on my second screen and started up ACU. My CPU went up to 129C then fell to 79C. I freaked out, turned off the game and uninstalled AMD Overdrive. I then restarted, put HWMonitor on my second monitor and played ACU on my primary (generally I disable the second monitor while gaming). I had near constant CPU temps of 30-35, with one or two spikes to 40. This is ridiculously cool, so I don't know what is going on...

get speccy an see what it says for temps its free i use it all the time

So I currently have ACU running with CoreTemp on the second monitor (posting from phone). My temperature under load was originally in the low 30s, now it is in the mid 30s. It occasionally spikes to 40-44. Everything seems to be playing fine and even somewhat better than before.

Those are still good temps nothing to worry about.

 

[leftisthominid]

They just seem freakishly low (and I have OCD)

Well like I said I have the same cooler and cpu and mine stays under 45 when I run games there's only been a few times I've heard the fan kick way up to max.

I have trouble beliving it but with 3 high rpm fans blowing through a hyper 212 my fx 6300 hits 8C (according to Open hardware monitor"
